Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J 11116 21, 1910.

Application filed February 25, 1910.

Serial No. 545,965.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIEGMUND M. SIEGEL, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York city, State of New York, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Figure Toys; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in toy dogs andcomprises a covering adapted to imitate the head and part of the bodyand legs of a dog and designed to fit over the hand of a person and soarranged that the fingers of a person may cause the head, jaw and legsto move in imitation of the movements of a dog.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure 1 is a perspective view showing the device as applied to the handof a person, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the headshowing the manner of engagement of the hand of an operator therewith.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a covering of fur adapted to imitate the fur of a dog andprovided with a head B with a pivotal lower jaw C hinged at C to theskull of the head. An opening leads through the neck and through whichthe finger D of a person may be inserted. Said jaw is normally heldclosed by means of a spring E fastened at E to the rear wall of theskull while its forward end is secured to a strip F which is secured tothe upper surface of the jaw and against which strip the end of thefinger is adapted to bear and, by pressure being applied to said stripby the finger, the jaw may be made to open in the manner shown in Fig. 1of the drawings.

H designates the legs of the dog and in which the fingers of the hand ofthe operator may be inserted so that, by opening and closing thefingers, movements may be imparted to said legs and also to the head andjaw to give the appearance of the movements of the dog.

The toy in use is applied to the hand of a person, preferably using amuff, which mulf is designed to cover the arm and wrist of the person onwhose hand the covering is held and thus give the appearance of a petdog held within the muff with a portion of its body projecting out fromone end thereof. The covering will also serve to protect the hand, asall of the parts of the latter will be covered.

What I claim to be new is 1. A figure toy comprising a skull having ajaw pivotally connected therewith, the neck of said skull provided witha finger opening, a strip fastened to the upper surface of said jaw andadapted to form a stop for the end of a finger inserted through saidopening, and a spring connecting said strip with the skull.

2. A figure toy comprising a skull having a jaw pivotally connectedtherewith, the neck of said skull provided with a finger opening, astrip fastened to the upper surface of said jaw and having an enddisposed at an angle to the latter and projecting toward the upperportion of the skull and adapted to form a stop to the end of a fingerinserted through said opening, a coiled spring fastened at one end tosaid strip above the jaw and its other end to the rear portion of theskull and serving to normally hold the jaw closed.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence oftwo witnesses.
